My Club Activity

I choose Soccer Club this year and it is my favorite club and I think it is the best club in GCA. I take part in Soccer Club because I love soccer and I am good at playing soccer. And soccer is popular in China although Chinese national soccer team is so weak in Asia and the world.
Our soccer team’s coach is Mr. Pinney and he is our English teacher. He is also like playing soccer and he usually play soccer with his friends in England. In our first training. Mr. Pinney asked us to do some running and jumping in order to relax our muscle. He had a lot of ways to do. Such as when he says one, we should touch the ground. When he says two, we should jump. When he says three, we should run backwards. I think this kind of running is not relax our muscle but not train our reaction abilities. After 10 minutes, we were so tired and excited because we would have a match later. I still remembered I had a goal and an assistant in my first match. So I had confidence in the following matches.
My position is right midfielder like my ideal Cristiano Ronaldo. This kind of player should have cross ability. It means that we should improve my passing precision. And I also need to train my running ability, because I always feel tired after a match. Sometimes Mr. Pinney also tells us some useful soccer skills and how to defense and how to shoot. I think we can use these in the matches.
Our captain is Patrick from Grade 11 and our manager is Angel from Grade 12. They work very hard and always organize some matches.
I love my club because it can give me release from my studying. I love soccer forever.

My sports activities in the winter vacation

I have a lot of time in the winter vacation. I spend 1 hour doing the sports activities. I like playing soccer. When I am running on the soccer field, I feel so satisfied and relaxed. Except soccer, I also climbed the Zijin Mountain, played basketball and went jogging with my cousin.
One day in the winter vacation, my old classmates and I played soccer. This sports activity is our favorite. We always kicked when we was juniors. After 7 months, I found my brothers’ soccer skills improved a lot. We can pass the ball, trap and travel the ball like Cristiano Ronaldo and Ricardo Kaka and some soccer super stars. The activity made us to find the feeling of our junior middle school’s life. After the soccer match, we were so happy. “Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!” We shouted loudly. “I thought of my junior middle school. When we had P.E lesson we often play soccer, and we always waited impatiently when had the lessons before P.E lessons. ” After listening to him, we laughed. Yes, this is our junior middle schools.
In the beginning of the winter vacation, I climbed Zijin Mountain with my cousin. We have climbed the mountain in the first term in Mr. Harris’s classes, so it was not difficult for me. We walk along the road and enjoy the view of beauty. The sunshine was through the vacancies between two leaves. It was very relaxed after climbing the mountain. But my cousin was so tough at that time. He said, I can’t continue to climb, it is so difficult for me. So I want to thank for the P.E lessons, they make me get strong and healthy.
I also did a lot of sports activities during the winter vacation. It enriched my winter vacation.
I feel relaxed when I do the sports activities, it is very healthy for me.

Visiting A Exhibition




On 4th.December, our class went to Nanjing University to visit an exhibition with Ms.Bartell and Ms.Hadley. All of the art works are made by a well-know artist called Wu Weishan. He is the professor of Nanjing University.
We arrived at the Nanjing University very early that we walked around the Art College. It is a beautiful place. Between the two buildings, there is a sculpture made of copper. It is a big bull. It holds its head high. It is very fortitudinous. Professor Wu’s student told us it representative the scholars in China. They do not fear any tribulation. Their spirit is like this kind of bull.
When it was 1 pm, Ms.Hadley leaded our class to the big hall. There are so many sculptures in the hall. Professor Wu’s student told us all of the sculptures are made by Wu Weishan. I watched a program about Wu Weishan before in the Planning lesson. From that program I knew Wu is a very marvelous artist. He is not famous in China but he is also famous in the world. I knew his famous art work is called Sleeping Child. Eventually I realized his uncommon skills.
In the entrance, there is a Laozi’s statuary. His student told us this art work is also his teacher’s famous production in the world. The Laozi is very small and thin. But his countenance is very lifelike. His eyes nose mouth and his goatee. It is like the great ideologist in china thousand years ago. We walked slowly and enjoy such the great works. After finishing visiting the first hall, we entered to the second hall. I saw many small sculptures in the second hall. They are small but they are fancy. I thought it is more difficult to make these small things than big things. The artist must have lofty skills. So Wu Weishan has. This works are unique. They are so beautiful. In the corner of the hall. I saw Sleeping Child. It is a small one. I saw it many times on the TV, but now the real thing is in front of my eyes. I was so excited and I fetch my camera and took many photos. Beside the small one there is a huge one. Many of my classmates stood beside the big one and took pictures. We watched all of the works carefully.
When we left the second hall, I saw there many people at the entrance. I saw a man with long hair stood in the center of the people. I knew he is Wu Weishan, a great artist. I ran to the crowd and asked him to give me his sign. He is very friendly and he is very pleased to sign for us. He is such a gentle well-known professor and artist. We are so excited after we had the great artist’s signature.
There are many huge sculptures outside and we watched them carefully. When we were ready to leave there Ms.Hadley took a picture for our class and we left a memorable moment in Nanjing University Art College.
